Abandoned Japanese resort hotels have stood nearly untouched for over three decades
...
a hauntingly preserved resort town in Japan, where towering hotels sit crumbling along a riverside cliff. It's been untouched for over three decades,
...
Luke Bradburn, 28, stumbled upon the forgotten tourist destination of Kinugawa Onsen during a trip to Japan in early 2024.
While his original goal was to document the Fukushima exclusion zone, Bradburn ventured beyond the area and found a "ghost town."
...
Kinugawa Onsen was once a bustling resort town renowned for its natural hot springs. It began to decline in the early 1990s during Japan’s economic downturn.
As tourism dried up, many hotels shuttered.
But due to the country’s strict property laws, the buildings were never demolished. Many remain in legal limbo after owners either died without heirs or disappeared altogether
...
The crime rate is so low that abandoned buildings don’t get looted or destroyed
...
they need the owner’s permission to demolish, and if the owner died, they legally can’t for 30 years."
What remains today appears to be an eerie scene, with an entire street of massive, multi-story hotels slowly rotting away.
...
"From the outside, it’s all overgrown and decaying," he said. "But inside, some of the rooms were pristine - like no one had touched them in decades."
"Some of the rooms were pristine."
...
much of the area was extremely dangerous to navigate.
"There were floors missing, staircases hanging down, parts where you had to backtrack because everything had collapsed
...
You get a sense of what life must’ve been like here at its peak - and then it just stopped," he said.
"It’s eerie, sad and fascinating all at once."

He better hope there isn’t a grudge.
Spirited Away
Yubaba was probably watching him the whole time.
We have haunted bath houses. Haunted by AIDs-raddled hoemoes.
>Harsh dude!
“The crime rate is so low that abandoned buildings don’t get looted or destroyed “
We’re not in Detroit anymore........
Like the Eskimos and their dozens of words for different types of snow, Japanese cartoonists can depict something as simple as water in as many different ways.

Miyazaki’s Spirited Away used one of these for the story setting.
Chernyobal is similar. Everyone dropped everything and ran for the hills leaving behind all their possessions practically. Josh gates did a walk through there looking for ghosts, and it was eerie seeing g the classrooms with everything left and other rooms with normal every. Day items.
This is called Breaking and entry .
Are the Japanese tracking this idiot down .
Now the area has to increase security thanks to this felony .
My first thought!”
The best of the Chernyobal walk-throughs was done by “Kid of Speed”, a young Ukrainian woman.
Mellow out, Francis. Nobody cares ... it has been abandoned.
So how come he gets to go and no one else? If there is no radiation hazard, why hasn’t it been reoccupied?
are they sure those buildings aren’t in the Catskills?
Tha KS I’ll check it out- I assume it’s o. Youtube?
Japan's population is declining rather rapidly. They don't need the housing, and it would be really expensive to restore those buildings up to code. They will be razed for new construction when the time comes.
